All our Trust's appointment cards have this sort of advertising on the
back. I don't think we are alone in this. Our advice leaflets remain
advert free, but I don't know how long that will last as the money
offered is becoming too good to turn done in these financially
challenged times.

describes the charges the NHS levies on treatment of RTA-related injury
as
per the whatshemacallit act of 1999...
>advertising details...
--> An unfortunate past tendency of certain EDs to accept money or goods
from no-win-no-fee ambulance chasers and/or other such litigation
entities
in return for allowing them to advertise their "services" on the various
advice leaflets issued by the ED...
